Chapter Two

Here's chapter two. I don't think many people read the first chapter. But I had already continued the story so I'm posting it for you to read. So, Takuto and Meroko make their entrance. I'm not quite sure where I'm going with this yet. I'm mostly just typing what comes to mind. I hope it's enjoyable though.

Disclaimer: I do not own Full Moon although all seven volumes are in my possession.

Death Dream

Chapter Two

Welcome to the Shinigami realm

"Open your eyes sweet heart." A female voice echoed.

"Quit being so nice. Hey, wake up!" A male voice, more clear, nudged her side.

"Well, there's no need to be rude! She's going to be confused!"

"It's her own fault for cursing herself like we did! We seriously need to get a deal with talking to depressed youths…"

"Oh shut up! Look…she's waking up…"

The girl opened her eyes as she saw two people standing above her. She sat up and her head was pounding. Standing in front of her was a girl with long pink hair and rabbit ears sticking out of a red top hat. Standing next to her was a boy with black hair pulled back in a ponytail and a hat in the shape of cat ears.

"Hello, there! I'm Meroko Yui!"

"Sigh…"

"Dammit, Takuto, say your part!"

"Fine, fine."

"Ahem. I'm Meroko Yui!"

"And I'm Takuto Kira."

"Together we're: Negi Ramen!!" They both said at the same time.

"Negi…Ramen…?"

"That's right!" The girl smiled.

"Where am I…?"

"You're in the Shinigami realm."

"Shinigami realm? Am I a shinigami?" She asked.

"Well not yet. But you will be with some training. Now, it's time for a make over!"

The rabbit girl grabbed her hands and dragged her along. The cat boy crossed his arms and sighed, not wanting any part in this.

"Such pretty brown hair!" Meroko said cheerfully.

The girl looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was dark brown seeming almost black in some places.

"Now, lets see here…" Meroko pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket. "Ah, yes! Satsu Negaigoto, dog eared."

"Huh…? Death Dream…?"

"That's your name."

"Really?"

"Yep! Here, put this on!"

She shoved a pile of cloths in her hands and left her in the room alone. She stripped off the long white gown she was wearing and replaced it with a brown hooded sweater, dog-ears hanging off the hood and a dog tail stuck on the bottom back. She pulled on a black skirt, black knee high stockings, and black combat boots.

She left the room to see the rabbit girl and cat boy standing there. Meroko gasped.

"No, no! You must proudly show off your ears!" She said, pulling the hood over Satsu's head.

"Oh…I see…"

"Reminds me of a female version of Izumi." Takuto yawned.

"Don't…mention that name…" Meroko said softly.

"Oh, sorry. I forgot."

"Well then! Lets begin your training." Meroko snapped her fingers and a list appeared in her hand.

Satsu fixed her eyes on the ground, feeling a deep seam of depression. A sudden pain shot through her chest.

"Ouch!" She grabbed her chest and looked at Meroko with panic.

"What's wrong?"

"There's…no heart beat! I'm supposed to have a heart beat! Aren't I…?"

"Not anymore." Takuto said, turning away from her.

"We have no time for worries, we have to find that other new recruit." The rabbit girl said, floating off.

Satsu ran after her.

"Hey wait! You can't just leave me!"

"Who's leaving you?" Takuto asked. "Just float."

"How…?"

"Just lightly leap off the ground."

Satsu pushed off the ground and was suddenly floating.

"Ah! I'm floating!"

"Hurry up new-be." Takuto said, following after Meroko. Satsu quickly followed.

The two elder Shinigami landed easily, but Takuto had to pull Satsu down like a balloon.

"Hello there! I'm Meroko Yui!"

"And I'm Takuto Kira!"

"And together we're: Negi Ramen!"

"And this is Satsu." Takuto added, keeping his hand on her head so she wouldn't float away.

"You must be Kaito! I see you're the black cat Shinigami! That explains why you're assigned with me and Takuto!"

"Yea…" Kaito hardly cared.

"Cheery bunch of kids, aren't they?" Meroko sighed.

"They just committed suicide. How cheery were you when you first came here?" Takuto glared slightly.

"Suicide?" Satsu asked.

"I see they haven't told you the fascinating news yet." Kaito seemed to be angry.

"Uh…no…they didn't…"

"We are here and we are Shinigami not for any rational reason except for the tiny fact that while living in the mortal realm we committed suicide. We can't remember anything from our past lives and I consider that a bonus. Don't try too hard to remember cause if you do, you'll turn into a ghost and be doomed to roam the world for eternity living with the things that drove you to suicide in the first place."

"You're a very happy person aren't you?" Satsu said sarcastically.

"We reap the souls of the dead. Why would I be happy?"

"Ok then! Enough of that! Lets get to the training!" Meroko smiled, placing a hand on each of their shoulders.

The four Shinigami floated away; Satsu was trying hard not to think about remembering.

Neko: Sorry it was a bit short.

Izumi: A bit?! This chapter told us nothing about the story.

Neko: It's establishing the fact that Satsu is now in the shinigami realm and that she is training under Takuto and Meroko.

Izumi: Boring. And how come Mo doesn't want to talk about me? What did I do.

Neko: I can't tell you it'll ruin the story.

Izumi: You just said in the author's note that you don't know where the story is going!

Neko: My…look at the time…I should get going…

Izumi: Hey don't ignore me!

Neko: Please R&R!
